SQUAD: Sussex welcome Somerset to Hove

Sussex are back in action at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground this weekend as they take on Somerset in the LV=County Championship from tomorrow onwards (11.00am start).

The hosts sit at the summit of the Division One table having won both of their opening encounters against Middlesex and Warwickshire respectively, whilst Somerset have drawn both matches so far.

Skipper Ed Joyce has been in fine form for Sussex so far this season and has struck 280 runs in the Championship including two centuries at Edgbaston, which saw his side victorious for the first time in Birmingham for 32 years.

In terms of team news for the fixture, Matt Prior remains unfit with his achilles problem but Luke Wright is added to the squad for the first time this season after leaving the ICC World T20 early with a side strain. Chris Nash continues his recovery from a ruptured appendix but is not yet fit to be included.
